Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

This is very true:D:D:D But I would have a FOC service with adverts than having a premium service. Just look at SPOTIFY and what they do. Also if they came to VM which would anyone rather have:confused:

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

We used MusicOD daily and it was great when we had friends round and "show off" what Virgin offered, one of my friends lives in a non cable area, she would often say she'd love to have MusicOD.
After seeing the same ad over and over and the audio absence at the start of the videos she noted how "crap" the serice had become.

If there needs to be ads, they should be one every 4-5 videos, and DIFFERENT ads too.

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

The straight fact is that the service is not practically usable in its current format. My kids used to put music vids on a lot, and really enjoyed the service. Now they have to wait or skip the ad at the begininning and they stopped using the service.

I didn't even know whey they had stopped using the service until I found out later about the ads and asked them.

They voted with their feet I guess, when they used to dance with them (as MJ would say "OW!")

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

Personally myself i am none too keen on the ads on music on demand i take a fairly simple view on the matter which is i pay a sub to get content rather like i pay a "sub" to the BBC in the form of a license, that to me should cover the cost of the content without the need to view adverts,if i say only want to watch a single track to have to sit through an ad for a 4 minute track is irrittating to say the least.

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

I've recently had a TV package added to my subscription because i'd missed not having all the on demand stuff but after 2 days of using it i'd had enough of the same ads over and over again. Almost every music video i watched started with the tron legacy trailer and every episode of 30 rock started with that annoying J-lo razor add, it was driving me insane so ive stopped using it.

I expect adds on a free service but like others have said, this is NOT a free service???

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

I listen to music on demand less than before.
I've resorted to using a service Grooveshark, albeit there being no video involved.

I wouldn't mind if the ads were controlled in a way that it wouldn't deter users.
As someone had said, the idea of placing the ads on to channel 300 (aka the channel that appears in the mini-window on MOD), would be a great solution - however analystics may come in to this as there is no way of knowing whether the customer may have seen the ad or not, whereas when a video is watched, it is guaranteed to be seen.

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

I have an app on my Samsung Smart 3D blu ray called Muzu which is much better thanMusic OD , its free and not swamped with ads.

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

I have a Samsung 3D Bluray (minus the 3DTV unfortunately), I'm not sure if you need a specific model however as I know you need certain series.
I'm guessing it won't be under Internet@TV or Samsung Apps, or am I wrong?

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

Yes it was in Samsung apps , Internet@TV was the previous system on Samsung the new one is Smart however it could still be on Internet@TV.

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

Not when you can fast forward through the video and VM have said that they would never take that option away from customers.

Besides, I think you do take in what is going on in that window when searching. When I was using MOD I was fed up of hearing that bloke going on about the Royal Wedding and the extra long bank holiday. I wasn't deliberately listening, but still took in what was being played.

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

Thanks for the tip.
Going to fire it up now and see if it's on there :)

Mute is the key to solving that problem :p:

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

By the looks of it, as with most Samsung TV's or Blu-Ray players, you need to have a certain model to use features, even if they are theoretically capable in some way.
Had a look at the Samsung Apps, and can only see Picturebox other than YouTube and Dailymotion. No Muzu :(

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

Here's a list of Samsung devices Muzu is available on using Internet@tv. Make sure your players fully updated online as new services get added all the time

Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 

Unfortunately, the model is not a match to any on the list.
Ah well, back to "Tron Legacy: available now"
